Last year's Pickles baseball season was a win for East Portland; if one were to keep score, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of new visitors to Lents. Pickles Baseball increased revenue for businesses in the immediate area, employed local residents, and immediately addressed concerns from neighbors regarding parking and sound level issues. This year's baseball fans will see the construction in the Lents Town Center. It is our hope that among those baseball fans will be some who will lease the new retail spaces, rent the new apartments, or return to Lents to shop and visit the newly renovated Lents Park. Lents couldn't get a better endorsement than from Pickles Baseball fans who come to Walker Stadium to enjoy the Great American Pastime, and find a neighborhood in the process of revitalization. An ideal day would include Portland Pickles Baseball fans making a day of it--bowling in the afternoon at KingPins Bowling, heading down the street to visit the Belmont Goats on their way to Zoiglhaus for a quick snack, and finishing a perfect summer's day at the ball game. All good for Lents. The LNA would like to go to bat for the Portland Pickles and help them to become an institution in Portland. We support their continued use of Walker Stadium and Lents Park. Please contact me if you would like to discuss our support for the Pickles. Thank you. Very truly yours, Judy Low, Chair Lents Neighborhood Association 503-788-3068 503-975-4734 .

I’m not under any illusions… I understand it’s just the lowest sort of political payback that would embarrass the worst banana republic and a waste of money on baseless charges to distract from legitimate ones. Trump himself is barely pretending otherwise! But there’s only a small overlap between the real world and whatever goes on in Trump’s brain. Sure, he thinks he’s winning because he’s getting what he asked for by having an investigation at all, but I think he’ll find it’s a far, far cry from what he wanted… “Attempted Coup”, “Witch Hunt”, and of course “Fake News” are just the catchiest ways Trump has characterized the Mueller investigation, but while such aspersions are easy to throw, stubborn reality is still there.
